The 49th annual ACM Awards was a blast out in Vegas, with lots of amazing fan opportunities to see their favorite artists throughout the weekend.  We were able to hook up with tons of artists making their way into the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the main event.  Here is Kelly Lynn on the red carpet.

Rachele Lynae is a brand new young country artist, originally from the state of Alaska.  Many aspiring singers travel a long road to get to Nashville, but not quite that long.  From the sound of her voice and her commanding stage presence, it looks like we'll be seeing a lot from her in the coming years.  Rachele's debut album was produced by her mentor Jamie O'Neal, and hits stores this week.  We caught up with Rachele in the studio to talk about that self-titled project.  Check her out in the studio right here.

Texas and Nashville don't always see eye-to-eye when it comes to country music, but I think we can all agree on great music when we hear it.  Ross Cooper recorded his unique sound at a studio in Lubbock, Texas, which you can find on his soulful new album Give It Time.  The project includes eleven tracks, all of which he wrote or co-wrote.  We hooked up with Ross to hear how his life experiences are reflected in his music.  Learn all about Ross right here.
